Does Music really help Children learn Math?

While much has been written about the strong correlation between Music and Math, new research finds that music activates the same areas of the brain that subjects use while solving spatial-temporal reasoning problems. Based on extensive research and knowledge that certain types and frequencies of sound are processed by the two hemispheres of the brain differently, using specific music and sounds may help to stimulate one hemisphere more than the other and possibly create more balance in the brain. As such, listening to music could improve a student's cognition and ability to learn math skills. As recently as 2012, one study showed that listening to music during a math test could improve performance by 40 percent


A considerable amount of research suggests that listening to music may improve cognitive skills. More recent studies show that the Mozart Effect, as it is known, has very little to do with listening to Mozart and more to do with listening to music that activates a certain portion of the brain. Classical music and minor tones for the right side, upbeat and major tones for the left side. Over the years, Dr. Robert Melillo has worked with a composer to develop a line of music that specifically addresses strengthening each hemisphere. 

What do you think? Does music help with Math? We'd like to think so :)

Wow, it stood out to me when you explained that listening to music can improve cognitive skills. When you are listening to music, would it be a good idea to listen to a variety of genres? I would imagine that you would get more out of a lot of genres rather than sticking to just one.

Music seems to have an effect on cognitive abilities, including learning math, as it helps balance brain activity between both hemispheres. Specific types and frequencies of music may help improve focus and understanding in math lessons.Regard <a href="https://soc.telkomuniversity.ac.id/computational-thinking-for-ma-students-of-pondok-pesantren-modern-assuruur/">Informatika</a>

Testimonials

I was evaluating this school for my son's piano lessons but ended up joining myself. My son is very Young and I needed to try out some lessons before committing and the school worked with me through the process of trying out multiple teachers, who were all fantastic in their own league, but I was looking for a non traditional learning for my son.

So though we decided it's not the right time for my son to start here, I myself ended up joining one of the teachers who we tried out and liked. He is Mr. Matthew. As a teacher he had understood my goals and my expectations and is challenging me accordingly. I really like the class.

​The school's management was very involved and took lot of effort to understand my and my son's requirements and constantly followed up on the experience as a new student. This is rare to see but reflects the passion of the management towards music and towards customer service. I would recommend this highly. I also love the arts program of schools which I have walked by often and seen the amazing paintings that Young students make there.
